Combate Americas: CombateTexas

Combate Americas: CombateTexas

Richard

Combate 48: Dia de los Muertos, Combate Texas, Combate Dallas, Combate Garland. They dont really know what to call this one. I wanted to go see these fights, but it just was too cold, and they didn’t really have anyone on the card that moved me. Combate Americas always caters to a Spanish speaking audience, maybe even a little too much… but we all know the language of face punching, and that’s why I like it

Main Event

Gilbert Urbina vs Angelo Trevino – 175

Round 1

Hard kicks by Trevino, Urbina takes his back and becomes a back-pack of pain. They eventually go to the ground and Urbina beats up Trevino. read more

LFA 79 Round by Round Results

Richard

So, I’ve been thinking if I should do the round by round results for the LFA since, its so widely available now. I’m not sure if I should just do commentary on fights, or just keep on doing what I’m doing. I missed a couple of LFA events. I’ll try to get back to them. But this LFA was LFA 79 Royval vs Williams. Royval has had a couple guys pull out of fights, he’s had the TV deal cancellation, he’s had injuries and various amounts of bad luck that was stopping him from getting to the title, but all that stopped today. read more

OK, So fury FC 39 kicked off in Houston at the Bayou Event Center. The promotion has been putting on a lot of fights, they’ve been traveling, and they’ve been attracting a lot of talent. They will be in the DFW area soon, and I hope to go to the show, but there is sooooo much MMA in DFW at the moment. Anyway. Great fights. The “amateurs” on this card do work.

Main Event

Leomana Martinez vs David Rivera – Bantamweight

Round 1

Rivera shoots in and Martinez jumps guillotine. Martinez eventually kicks his opponent off and gets up. Martinez drops Rivera twice and puts an unholy beatdown on him until the round ends. The fight really could’ve been stopped here. read more

OK, so the atmosphere was fire. The name recognition was there, and the fights were good. I think it was a successful UFC. Tough guys were 0 for 4 on this card, and boy, were my picks wrong 🙁 worst of the year

Here are my picks

Jorge Masvidal vs Nate Diaz

Tough guy no. 4 The fight started out like I thought it would, it didn’t end like I thought it would, but, I think all that is academical. Masvidal was going to beat Nate Diaz to a bloody pulp, and if they fight in Vegas, for a rematch, gamebred would paint the canvas red with Nate’s blood. I think Masvidal wants the fight, because its a very easy paycheck for him. That is all. This was my unbroken pick, and I missed the round call, but eh… it wasn’t bad. read more

Fury 38 was at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio. The Fury Promotion is heavily active in South Texas. There were some fun fights. CJ Vergara was fighting for an interim 125 belt, he didn’t make weight, so its kinda like the scrapped the whole belt situation, and said, “Who ever wins will fight the champ” – Good stuff

Main Event

CJ Vergara vs Shawn Solis – Flyweight. Vergara missed weight

Round 1

Vergara is slow with not a lot of movement. Solis is bouncing around well. Vergara throws some punches and lands some hard knees from the clinch. read more

So I’ve been trying my best to see LFA 77, I’ve been trying to look at any video that I can of the event, but it’s just hard to find. I believe that they plan on releasing the event on some other platform, I will review that show, but I have no idea when.

The LFA postponed two of its following shows, so, I’m thinking that it will take at least a month for LFA to be broadcasted again. I dont want to see it on fightpass, simply because I think that the LFA would get lost in the sea of other promotions, and I think that the LFA should get broadcasted to a mass audience. Fox Sports, NBCSN and CBS should all look at the LFA. read more

Top 10 Stand-outs from Dana White Contender Series 2019

Richard

OK, So I watched all of the Contender Series and I graded every single fighter. You’re Welcome. Well… It was actually fun. Anyway these are based on their show performance, and its not an overall rating of the fighter.

  1. Andre Muniz …… 5/5
  2. Impa Kasanganay 5/5
  3. Hunter Azure ……5/5
  4. Ode Osbourne …… 5/5
  5. Brendan Allen …..5/5
  6. Justin Gonzales …… 4.5/5
  7. Omar Morales …… 4.5/5
  8. Tony Gravely ……4.5/5
  9. Miguel Baeza …… 4/5
  10. Antonio Arroyo …… 4/5

So these are my terrific 10. I have a few more guys with 4/5 stars on my list but I feel like these 2 just edged all of them. I had Antonio Trocoli on my list, but he tested positive for a PED.

Two guys on my list did not get contracts. Impa Kasanganay and Justin Gonzales did not get contracts, I did not keep them off the list, because they performed very well. read more

Surprise! The LFA isn’t gonna be on AXSTV anymore. Isn’t that a fantastic surprise? I’m guessing that they want to get into the wrestling market and just be an all wrestling all the time channel, or something like that. I’ve actually kept a cable package just for AXSTV, just for the LFA. That’s it. And whatever platform the LFA is on, I’m going to watch it, just like LFA 76

Pat Miletich really grew on me. Ron Kruck is great at calling fights, and conveying the mood of the area. I’m really gonna miss it read more

UFC 242 picks here

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Dustin Poirier

Yeah, So Poirier just cannot deal with the wrestling. I usually dont like to play matchmaker, but I think Poirier should fight McGregor a second time, its good for eyes on the Fight game, and its good for Poirier’s bank account. I also think that Ferguson is just undeniable right now.

Paul Felder vs Edson Barboza

So I Pick Barboza, I think he won, but Felder worked some kind of Voodoo on the judges. I dont understand 30-27 for Felder at all, because Barboza dominated that 2nd round.

Islam Makhachev vs Davi Ramos

This pick was unbroken, from me. I think Davi Ramos has a very high upside, he just needs to work on his hands. read more
